I Can't Stop Eating!!

This slump is starting to completely freak me out! The Half-Marathon was a month and a half ago and I still haven't gotten myself moving. Now, I feel as if I am eating everything in sight! I can't stop eating!! As I type, I have that I-ate-so-much-I feel-sick-to-my-stomach feeling from chowing on pizza. The good news is that I feel this way after eating only three slices - I used to eat four before cutting myself back to two.

It is time to put together a game plan:

1) I registered for Pittsburgh's Great Race - the 10K. That's a little over 6 miles in less than three months. I better get moving! I will run two miles three times in the next week.

2) I'm going to get back to drinking lots of water. Remember my pink cup from last summer?

I went out tonight and got myself a new one! Starting tomorrow, I will fill my cup up before my daily morning meeting at work and then continue to fill it throughout the day. I love that our Employee Fridge has an automatic ice and water dispenser in the door.

3) I'm going to eat at least two pieces of fruit a day for the next week. Somehow I got back on a salty potato chip/pretzel kick. I've been to the vending machine twice this week! I know that I feel better when I eat healthier natural foods such as fruit so why aren't I doing that? Tomorrow, I'm going to clear all of the change out of my desk so that there is less temptation and stop at the grocery store to fill up my fruit bowl.

Game plan in place - three simple goals that I can easily accomplish in the next seven days. The first step in getting myself back on track. It is so important that I take the time and energy to focus on me - I know that for a fact. I will NOT grow weary! I will NOT give up!
